Soulslikes are not for me (part three)

We’re talking more aobut soulslikes and why I’m on the cusp of giving up on them. Before I get into that, though, I have to say that I talked a bit with Ian about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), and his opinion is more in-line with mine than with other people’s.
